There will orchestral screenings of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and for the first time ever in the UK – Jurassic Park, Home Alone, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Wars: A New Hope.

Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at the Royal Albert Hall, said : “It is an extraordinary honour to welcome the legendary John Williams – the most celebrated, acclaimed and beloved film composer of all time – to take centre-stage in this year-long celebration of his work.

“His music has been the soundtrack not just to our favourite films, but to our lives, and this rare performance with the London Symphony Orchestra promises to be one of those special nights in our history: a unique chance to see a genius in the flesh, presenting unforgettable highlights from his incomparable career.

Don't miss the classic Star Wars

Having won 24 Grammys, seven BAFTAs, four Golden Globes and five Oscars, and boasts 51 Academy Award nominations (which is second only to Walt Disney in terms of numbers), John Williams is nothing short of an icon.

Alongside the special John Williams events are a number of extra Films In Concert performances – check them out here.
